Clay Aiken promotes his starring role in the Tony Award winning Broadway comedy Monty Python’s ‘Spamalot’ with a handprint ceremony at Planet Hollywood in Times Square.

I mean, I don’t really know what to say.  These pictures say it all.

PS:  Why would you wear a tie made out of the same material as your shirt?   As my mother would say, “Am I missing something?”

Get ready Claymates, a new Clay Aiken album is just around the corner. The former American Idol contestant is in New York City currently recording his fourth album, which he expects to be released in early May, he tells PEOPLE exclusively.

“We’re hoping the next album will be out about May 6,” Aiken, who is currently starring in the Broadway run of Monty Python’s Spamalot as Sir Robin, he said.

Aiken’s keeping a hectic schedule, recording tracks for the RCA Records album when he’s not on stage. “We’ve picked most of the songs,” Aiken, 29, says. “Sonically, I don’t know that we’re going down any path that’s crazy. I’m not trying to be cool, I’m not trying to be hip. I’m not trying to do anything other than sing stuff that I’m good at.”

So what’s the inspiration behind Aiken’s upcoming album? “In the past five years there’s a lot I’ve learned about life, and I think people learn a lot in the twenties,” says the singer. “So we found a lot of songs that speak to that. I would like to wrap a lot of the music around that theme. It’s early to promise that, but it’s a goal.”

Aiken adds he has no plans to perform a duet with another singer, but he knows at least one star he’d love to sing with. “I’ve always wanted to do a duet with Martina McBride. I think she has one of the best voices,” he says.

And is Aiken planning an image overhaul, tied to the album? He says, “Last time I came out with dark crazy hair. We did that intentionally. But I’m just going to do what I do this time. We don’t have any plans this time. But I’ve got the red wig [from Spamalot] – maybe I’ll do that!”

In a recent interview with New York Magazine, Clay Aiken spoke up about his personal life.

The private singer has admitted that he isn’t dating anyone and also claims that he doesn’t have any carnal urges on his mind right now.

He said, “I just don’t have an interest in… any of that at all,” the Spamalot star explains. “I’d rather focus on one thing and do that when I can devote time to it, and right now, I just don’t have any desire.”

And when it comes to him having those very human “urges,” Aiken claims he’s immune. “I don’t! I mean, not really. I’ve just kind of shut it off, maybe. Is that bad?”

But OK! has confirmed that the singer has dated at least one person in the past six months — and that there isn’t anything wrong with the Idol alum’s sex drive. The source tells OK! that Clay met a special someone who he dated a handful of times last summer when visiting Los Angeles.

The source also reveals to OK! that Clay was so taken with this particular person, he offered to fly them to his home in North Carolina, and was making plans for the two of them to then drive across the country in Aiken’s car.

So why would Clay not tell the truth about his love life? “He doesn’t like to talk about these things,” explains an industry insider. “Saying he doesn’t date or have a sex drive is probably his way of trying to end the conversation.”

Clay Aiken makes his Broadway debut in Monty Python’s Spamalot at the Shubert Theater, January 18th.

And outside of the theater, Clay greets his fans and signs autographs after performing at his debut as ‘Sir Robin’.

He seems like a nice enough guy, but I can’t seem to get the thought of that white suit out of my head!
